Sword - heard someone pronounce it with the "w", kind of like "toward". The w is silent, pronunced like "board".

Prerogative - the first "r" is silent. Often misspelled.

I pronounce "sword" with the W. I'm not sure why, I just always have. I know it's not supposed to be pronounced like that, it's just so drilled into me by now that it's hard for me to change my ways, hehe.

However, I must respectfully disagree about the pronunciation of the word "prerogative." I actually had to look it up because I thought, "Maybe I've been saying that one wrong the whole time, too." LOL.

After I left government work it took me forever to stop using military time. The first phone message I left for my new supervisor said that the caller called at 14:22.

Supervisor asked what clock did I have that gave the time at 14 o'clock.

LOL! When I was a kid, the first time I ever saw military time, I said, "Uncle Bottlecaps, what's (I can't remember the exact time it was, so I'll use an example) 15 o'clock 43 mean? There is no 15 o'clock!" (It was on a speeding ticket my uncle had gotten, lol.
